I would like to get some feedback on what everyone is using to lubricate their 
neoprene dry-suit wrist seals. I was using a 50/50 unscented dish-soap&water 
solution. It was very convenient and I didn't have to worry about it getting 
wet on the dive boat,however it may have been responsible for a premature 
breakdown in the seals, leading to there replacement. Now that I have new seals 
I would like to get some other opinions. I have heard that if you use talc, it 
must be pure & unscented...I am having a hard time finding unscented talc...any 
ideas???  and what about cornstarch??? and last but not least...how do you keep 
these powders dry on a dive boat???

I live in a castle on the ocean floor. It is a roomy and convenient castle
                          I like it.
  My neighbors, fish, recently held an election. I was elected Emperor.
                     (Much to my surprise)
       I am the "Emperor of Fish." I think I will like this job.
     My life really has changed since I put on a snorkel and mask
